#2 I once peed in a field of land mines, oh Mozambique.

#3 I am a full time volunteer working as an Immigrant Advocate.

#4 I never ordered a burger at a fast food restaurant until I was a Senior in High School, what can I say, I like chicken.


#5 I love to cook and experiment with new recipes.

#6 I can't stand it when my husband picks at his beard, which is ALL the time, ha ha.




#7 I am a recovering camp-aholic - yeah Menno Haven ...... I was a camper since I was 8, a staff member and counselor forever, met my husband there, got engaged there, AND got married there!

Spin it!

It has arrived! How amazingly beautiful are these colors? I think I'm going to spin it into sock weight yarn. I saw an inside out stocking cap at REI this weekend that I really like and I may try something like that or actually knit a pair of socks for myself. So many choices, but I just had to share this lovely roving with you. If you are interested in something similar you are invited to visit The Chicks with Sticks.

The Spirit of Giving

I'm in the spirit. Soon you'll be seeing this purple pocket on subu's blog give away. Here is the blog address so that you can get your chance to win one of her many give aways - http://www.suburose.com/blog.

Also this week I decided to gift this recycled silk hat to a dear friend of mine who is working very hard to make the lives of troubled teens better. This friend is also the one who first inspired me to work with recycled silk.

So I have taken these listing out of my shop, but there are still many items to choose from, and I am still up for custom orders. Feel free to come by and have a look! Enjoy!
